On the first Friday of every month a new song and accompanying MV, produced by the members, will be released. This will go on until July, 2016.
Melody is a self-described as a refreshing melody with a comfortable beat, making it very easy to dance to. An “exhilarating pop tune that penetrates into the blue sky!”.

Popular makeup brand KOSE is reflecting on their long history with diva Namie Amuro, most likely due to her pending retirement in September. In celebration of their relationship, they have created a special project called “NAMIE AMURO X KOSE ALL TIME BEST”.
